Patrick and Andrew consider Frodo and Sam as models of male friendship, which builds as they rely on each other in adversity and talk with each other about the meaning of their journey. Frodo shows a growing power of will to resist the force of the Ring and the Lord of the Nazgul, while Sméagol experiences a momentary release from the Ring-lust that made him into Gollum.
